Jon Lester has Lymphoma

#1

Post by ruffriders23 »

Jon Lester has been diagnosed with a treatable form of anaplastic large cell lymphoma and will begin treatment within the coming week. The Red Sox didn't say what that treatment would be, but chemotherapy seems likely. Lester's season is obviously over with this news. Hopefully, the chemotherapy takes care of the cancer and he can at least have a normal life soon enough.

Damn, that's a rough deal, that cancer...I've lost family to it left and right over the past couple of years...I hope him and his family can pull through...

He was a good young pitcher also. Hopefully he'll be able to come back strong next year

For future posts Ruff, please post in the format AYHJA has set forward
"If there were no eternal consciousness in a man, if at the bottom of everything there were only a wild ferment, a power that twisting in dark passions produced everything great or inconsequential; if an unfathomable insatiable emptiness lay hid beneath everything, what would life be but despair?"

Soren Kierkegaard

Oh TT, that's just for that thread in particular, feel free to post articles and such you feel merit a discussion as normal...

But yes ruff, while we appreciate your journalism, links to the source are appreciated, and in many cases necessary...

Sorry, I was just posting my thoughts on the matter. I'll set up a link to an ESPN article next time.
